apt-get update is all screwy...

[dementedgimp]

when I do an update, it goes all screwy about 404 not found. Is this typical of VPSes here, as I am a debian newbie. I am more comfortable with ubuntu 10.04 server.

It's been fixed on the host level, you can try it again. If for some reason the apt-get update doesn't work, try issuing the below command to manually update the repositories.

sed -i 's/\/\/\([0-9a-zA-Z\.\-]*\)\//\/\/archive.debian.org\//' /etc/apt/sources.list
